Grounds for waiver.

Please correct the following issues:

10. Grounds for Waiver: The Florida Building Commission may grant waivers of Florida-specific accessibility requirements upon a determination of unnecessary, unreasonable or extreme hardship. Please describe how this project meets the following hardship criteria. Explain all that would apply for consideration of granting the waiver.

NOTE:** Please select atleast one checkbox below.

The hardship is caused by a condition or set of conditions affecting the owner which does not affect owners in general.

Description:
The building footprint, setbacks, and layout do not lend itself for the addition of an elevator. The east side of the building is up against the costal construction line and the access to these rooms are from the west. The south side of the building is surrounded by the pool and parking. The north side of the building is used as a turnaround loop for the one way parking exit. The west side of the building is constrained by a two story overpass building which has different floor elevations that the main building.
In our opinion the addition of an elevator to provide vertical accessibility is not physically achievable due to the above mentioned reasons. Therefore, a cost estimate is not applicable since an elevator is not physically feasible on the property.

Need Additional Space
Substantial financial costs will be incurred by the owner if the waiver is denied. The owner has made a diligent investigation into the costs of compliance with the code, but cannot find an efficient mode of compliance. Provide detailed cost estimates and, where appropriate, photographs. Cost estimates must include bids and quotes.

Comments:
The 2014 FBC vertical accessibility requirement was reviewed with the owner prior the commencement of the project. It was determined that the addition of elevators to comply with the 2014 FBC vertical accessibility requirement was not possible due to the building and site constraints and to the financial impact to the owner as mentioned on this application. The owner and the architect agreed to provide accessible guest rooms on the ground floor of the facility to comply with the 2014 FBC accessibility requirements.
